What's blooming today?
Wordless Wednesday
A week or so ago all of my Johnsons blue geraniums started to bloom. I love these perennial geraniums. Their flowers are an almost iridescent delicate blue. They’re just gorgeous.
When I took this photo there were only a few flowers blooming, but there were lots of buds. Now the geranium plants are covered in blue flowers just like this one. It’s beautiful.

I took this photo about two weeks ago.
Unfortunately I can’t remember the name of this plant. It’s a spring flower that for me, only blooms for approximately one week each year. The name is something like pasiflora … but yeah, I know it’s not a pasiflora as it’s certainly not a passion flower.
Whatever it is, it’s a lovely spring flower who’s blooms open fully in the daylight hours and close as the light dims in the late afternoon. I have mine planted in a fairly shady area, so it does well in shade.
This flower is no longer blooming and it’s foliage will die down sometime in the next few weeks as we come into the warm weather of summer.

Yes I’m still neglecting my garden, but it truly is thriving despite the lack of care. I’ve been so ill the last few days I haven’t been able to do much more than look out the window at all the buds developing on the roses and other flowers.
Luckily I’m married. My husband has been watering the garden every few days, and other than the pruning that I so desperately need to do on half my roses, the watering seems to be all that needs to be done.
Everything is covered in buds or is blooming. Two of my clematis, well two that I’ve noticed so far, possibly there’s more, are blooming! I ate my first homegrown strawberry of the season a little while ago too.
We’re expecting rain later today, and tomorrow. Possibly thunderstorms. I’m sure the garden will be overgrown soon if I don’t get out there and start trimming.
